This is a lightweight windproof shell that will take the edge off the morning commute or weekend ride. The outer shell is made of a ripstop nylon which adds toughness to the outer, while the fabric itself has been treated with Teflon so that light rain will bead off it. As a sub 200g jacket it will happily go into your back pocket or bag while riding, taking up minimal space. We realise that this jacket may be with you more than many other garments so we added a brushed collar for that real comfy feel anytime of the year. Rearward reflective decals aid visibility through traffic.

If you are looking for a super lightweight 'gilet', check out the dhb Ultralight Gilet (new page). It uses the same fabrics and design as the Wisp - but without the sleeves. Perfect wind protection for your core.

About
Cycling Windproof Jackets

Windproof jackets can improve your comfort levels on the bike considerably when the weather turns nasty, factors such as wind resistance and high breathability are important if you will be riding at a high pace over a fair distance, along with wearing a good quality base or mid layer to help with wicking moisture away from your skin. A windproof cycle jacket will help keep the cold air from reaching your chest, this means your body stays warm and comfortable on those cold days.

good jacket but buy a size bigger than you are
Great, lightweight and compact jacket, not bad quality for price. I got it in the sale for my wife to put under the pram for the summer. The only thing she said she would recommend is to get a size bigger than you are as hers came up a bit small. Good product overall though.

Lightweight and stows away easily
I bought the Wisp jacket because I wanted something which would take up very little space and could be carried in a pocket if necessary. The Wisp jacket does exactly that. It will reduce windchill on a cool day and protect you from a light shower but if you are looking for a waterproof garment, this is not for you.

Great product
After reading the reviews of this item I ordered two sizes in this jacket, it is worth going up one size than the one you think will fit. The only issue I have with this product is that after only one use the reflective detailing just peeled off, this has also happened with the DHB gilet I have. Not a major problem as the item still does it's job but why put it on if it's just going to come straight off anyway?

bargain spare
I bought this mainly for a spare for my daily commutes.
I ordered a 10, but when it arrived it was too small. It was quite short in the body and too short in the arms once in a riding position. Too tight across my shoulders too.
I returned and re ordered a 12.
This is a big on the baggy side, but at least it isnt too short on arms or uncomfortable.
It's pretty durable and a good bright colour, cuts the wind but not as warm as a more expensive shell.
Basically for the price it's a great spare to have, but order a size up.

Answer:

I am usually a size 8-10. The size 14 in this jacket fitted with enough room for me to wear a layer or two underneath and for it not to be tight - the sleeves flap around a bit, but that does not bother me.I suggest you order sizes 14 and 16 and return the one that is too big/small.

I'm about 8-10 size and I ordered size 8.. It's a nice fit across the shoulders and gives me enough movement without being tight.. I had a t-shirt underneath as well.. If you like it a bit looser than go the bigger size otherwise it's a nice fit..

I can confirm that the sizing is close to UK ladies dress sizing so if you are between a 10 and a 12 I would suggest the 12 for comfort and in case you wish to wear a thicker layer underneath for winter riding. I hope this helps.

Answer:

The jacket is very light weight and comes with it's own small bag with drawstring.. The jacket rolls up to less than 10cmx5cm.. If you require a picture or the exact weight I am more than happy to advise. Cheers

hello bikemaster! I just filed a review of this jacket - but it may take a while to appear. It is absolutely light as a feather and is supplied with a tiny little mesh bag that you can put it into. you could probably, at not much of a push, shove it in a trouser back pocket. It's hard to imagine you could find anything that packs down smaller. hope this helps
